is it too late to let you know

that i̩ͪ̈ͩͪ̋̈ ̥͔̲̩͓̾̓͑ͭ̊̍ͮl̮̼͉̙̙ͬ̅o̱̫͓̝̣͈ͣ͑ͦͅv̋̿̎̾̀e͎̲̳̞͂ͨ̂͂ ̣̲͎̩̪̖ͪͤ̒y͕o̝̩̟u̠̗̪͖̼ͯ͌͌͑͛ͪ

and to tell you how much i care?

you've said all these nice things

to me  and i was too weak

every time i told you n͓̭̥̙͙ͨ̄ͯ̍o͓͒ͫ̊̽

you'd come back and say it again

and again a͍͎̠͎̖͑ͫ̃̐̓ṇ̯̳̼̪d̬̣̪͐̔̆ͯ̓ ͈̮̙̬̔͋ͧͥ̏a̙͈͈̤͍͓ͥ̊ͮ̀g̩͕̼̦ͨͩ̈̐ͣͅa̙̱͉͉i̖͖̱̫͋n̝͍̤̦͛͌̊̾ ̰̫͉̻̼̙̀̋͆ͫ̇ͣ

but this is what kills me every time
